Surfline’s Lewis Samuels, popular as the author of Surfline’s ASP Power Rankings launched his own blog a couple months ago. It’s called Postsurf.com. The site culls up out-takes from Samuel’s paying gig at Surfline, original reporting, and goofy think pieces. Here’s what Lewis says about it:
In the grand tradition of morally-ambiguous, surf-lust inspired schemes, I’m launching this site: PostSurf – A place for myself and other Surf Culture iconoclasts to mull over the act, after the act is finished. . . . This site is based on a blind faith that there are many other surfers out there who are dissatisfied with the current state of the surf media. . . . I’m trying to make things better (or much, much worse depending upon your perspective).
Good, honest, insightful, funny writing about surfing is always in short supply and chances are that Postsurf.com will occasionally contain some. That’s why we’ve added the site to our Surf Links and our RSS feeds. Check it out.

When I first read the ‘power rankings’ on Surfline I thought that LS seemed like an idiot kook who can’t hold a candle to the ass of any surfer on Tour, past or present. When I got past that, realizing it all to be true, I began to enjoy his snide sense of humor and blatant claims. His blog writing is some of the best out there; mostly because he doesn’t actually write most of it; he just lets the surfers,like Bobby Martinez, do the talking re:writing.
